Thanks for that - my own thinking was along the same lines, but sometimes it
isn't clear whether 'they' mean the same physical network, the same IP
network (based on subnet) or the same domain.
Our plan is to have two IP addresses on the router LAN socket, connect both
servers into it, and use alternate port forwarding for SQL replication into
the second server. We don't care about mail servers etc as the customer
already has this set up at their ISP.
Thanks,
Mike.
